disclose their SALns for the past five years and issue an unconditional
waiver on the opening of their bank accounts for proper public scrutiny.

It
is regrettable if not laughable that these honorable men and ladies
should be issuing out almost the same arguments to evade the issue,
leading some observers to note that just as they practiced syndicated
relegation of the Rule of Law in their anti-Corona campaign they have
